It appears that combining the sound of the or nature sounds with the recitation of the Quran is disliked (), because the Quran is the magnificent word of Allah, and one must listen to it and ponder upon it without distractions. If the purpose of sounds and effects is embellishment, then this distracts from pondering. And if their purpose is to imagine unseen matters, such as the sounds of Paradise, then this is impermissible, as it involves an attempt to embody what is unknown. As for adding music to the Quran, it is forbidden and a grave abomination, because it is an insult to the word of Allah and a resemblance to forbidden singing.
